Who/What Exactly Is a Rice-Boy?

Rice-Boy is a stereotype. The typical Rice-Boy can be identified by his
car, or rather what he does to it. Generally, Rice-Boy will start out with
a car that was not meant to go fast (typically a Honda Civic), and attempt
to "fix it up," usually consisting of aftermarket rims, lowering springs
and an aftermarket exhaust system with a large exhaust tip.

Most Rice-Boy cars (or "Rice Rockets") have the usual complement of
stickers proudly displaying features that the car might or might not have,
most notably, the Honda VTEC sticker from the later model Preludes, and
the plaques from the later model Integras.

Rice-Boys do not exclusively drive Japanese cars. There are quite
a few fake Mustang '5.0's and Camaro Z28's out there, as well as
quite a few strange looking Neons.

Under the Hood of Rice-Boy's Car

Of course, most of the modifications done by Rice-Boy do not actually
increase the performance of his car by any significant amount, but rather,
try to give the appearance of high-performance. What most Rice-Boys
seem to not know is that many of the things they do to their cars
to make them faster actually hurt the performance.

Disclaimer:
The term "Rice-Boy" is meant to be a derogatory term. But not
racially derogatory. Some people might say that regardless of what
this disclaimer says, it makes Asians look bad. Well, I hate to
break it to these people but asians are not the only people
on this planet who eat rice. Everyone eats rice. White people eat
rice. Black people eat rice. Native Americans? They eat rice.
Europeans eat rice!! And, if you open your eyes, you might notice
that a whole lot of the rice-boys out there aren't even asian! The
"rice" really refers to their cars. It's not about their race, it's
about their attitude!
